... UK yet. The Belarus Secret John Loftus (Penguin, London 1983) Very impressive slim volume on the recruitment of the fascist members of the Byelorussian community by British and American intelligence shortly after WW2. Contains several lines of inquiry to be pursued, such as: "I discovered how British POW camps in Italy and Yugoslavia became waystations for Nazi immigration. According to these sources, the real 'Odessa' network was composed of British staffers in MI6" (p164) Really?! Loftus also claims that the ABN (Anti-Bolshevik Nations Committee) was financed by British Intelligence, as were other organisations such as the Francis Ckryuna Library in London, and the Byelorrussian Liberation Movement (p165 ...

... in Washington DC during the 80s under the guidance of a USAF intelligence agent, Marion David Pettie. Unclassified seems somewhat uncertain about the piece, however, and refers readers' enquiries to the author Wendell L. Minnick. The latest Unclassified (number 36) contains a grim but well researched piece by John Kelly about postwar CIA collaboration with Nazi doctors in radiation experiments in the US, and much other stuff of interest. Despite its frequent typos, Unclassified is a very valuable resource. [20001 S. Street NW, Suite 740, Washington DC 20009]. Honey, I shrunk the spooks The New York Times of 1 March reports that a presidential commission has recommended shrinking ...

... , the Bay of Pigs Brigade 2506 Association, with Nixon gone and their go-between Howard Hunt in jail, gave its first Freedom Award in 1975 to Chilean junta leader, General Pinochet. Meanwhile, at least since 1975, Bosch was drawing money and a false passport supplied by DINA, whose national security advisor, Walter Rauff, was a Nazi war criminal wanted for the murder of 97,000 Jews in gassing vans. Rauff, who escaped via the Vatican monasteries of Bishop Hudal in 1947, became a leading representative of the Skorzeny network in Chile. (108) In late 1974, junta Ambassador Julio Duran, a long-time CIA contact and organiser of Patria Y Libertad, ...

... by its industrial policy of employing Slavs as cheap labour. The Wittgensteins were also Hitler's enemies in the world of music, for they had adopted the virtuoso violinist Joseph Joachim, whom Wagner abhorred. Hitler followed Wagner in detesting the influence of the Wittgenstein family on the Viennese musical world. Wagner's anti-semitic tract of 1850 contains a passage which anticipates Nazi policy, considering the possibility of a 'violent ejection of the destructive foreign element' from German culture. The love of music which, Cornish suggests, would have brought Wittgenstein and Hitler together, turned into a prime reason for the latter's hatred of Jews. Perhaps the most important figure, however, is Schopenhauer, to whose writings both ...

... . Peace Plots Lobster 37 contained a review by Simon Matthews of Richard Griffiths' Patriotism Perverted: Captain Ramsay, the Right Club and British Anti-Semitism. Matthews mentions two 'bombshells'. The first concerns negotiations between the Labour MP Richard Stokes and von Papen, German Ambassador to Turkey in early 1940. The second relates to the leaking to the Nazis by Right Club member Anna Wolkoff in March the same year of British plans to seize Narvik in Norway. 'Bombshells' is a bit extreme. It's been known for a long time that Stokes supported an Anglo-German peace deal (4) and indeed you could probably fill a volume the size of Wisden if you tried to write a full ...

... Pierre Lafitte and Francois Spirito. Who they? Spirio and Lafitte S pirito has been dubbed the father of modern heroin traffickers. He was born in Sicily in 1898 and spent his formative years in Marseilles. The 1970 French film Borsalino 2 was largely based on his life but left out much of his less pleasing side, such as his Nazi collaboration during the war. Just before the Olson business Spirito had been released from Atlanta's Federal Penitentiary where he had been serving a sentence for drug trafficking. Less than three weeks later he was picked up by the US Immigration and Naturalization 2 Borsalino, directed by Jacques Deray,with Jean-Paul Belmondo and Alain Delon. Based upon a novel ...

... , being a US Army post. The Navy's early mind control research, Project CHATTER, was abandoned in 1953 and had no formal relationship with the newer projects being undertaken by the CIA at the time A Clockwork Orange was published in 1962. The only connection between CHATTER and Fort Bliss is that some of the USA's 'captured' Operation Paperclip Nazi scientists were held there, and it was Nazi human experiments, as described by other Paperclip 'captives', that led to US mind control projects. But the Nazis kept at Fort Bliss were working on the USA's fledgling rocket programs, and had nothing whatsoever to do with mind control programs.3 3 The use of the word 'psychotronic' itself ...

... the fissions-- both ideological and personal-- that periodically afflict the far Right, while fascinating for students of esoterica, are confusing for the outsider. There is also the general problem, common to all politicians, of ascertaining whether they mean what they say. Among the fascists this is often compounded by the desire to conceal a Nazi past and/or ideology. Further, much of what counts for 'hard' information on the connections of fascism to the secret state has been filtered through suspect sources such as Searchlight magazine, and fascists themselves, and lacks independent corroboration. (1) 1974-5-- an opportunity foreclosed 1974 should have been a propitious time for British ...

... E. Newell At the end of World War II, hundreds of thousands of non-German workers, mostly from the Soviet Union and other Eastern European countries, were stranded in Germany, while many thousands more were fleeing from areas overrun by Soviet forces. Most of these workers were anti-communist, anti-Soviet and anti-Russian; some had voluntarily collaborated with the Nazis, and many more had joined the German armed forces and the Waffen SS. They refused to return to their countries of origin: most, at least for some years, languished in refugee camps in the American and British zones of Germany. Others found refuge, and employment, in Britain, Belgium, France and elsewhere. Nevertheless ...

... seen both as the homes of big capitalism and socialist subversion. Such politics came to a head with the Dreyfus affair which the Rightists believed to be the work of a mysterious syndicate linking Masons, Radicals and Jews, controlled by the Prussian General Staff. The literature of the French Right of this period has a venomous quality that anticipates the Nazis. The Catholic Archbishop of Mauritius could end a denunciation of Freemasonry with the claim that it was controlled by the Jews and could make a near explicit call for a Final Solution: "Do not hope, O Jews, to escape the calamity which threatens you...We do not wish to be the slaves of Jews ..We will stand ...
